PortFast and BPDU Guard are STP optional features used to help speed up the convergence of access ports.

PortFast pretty much disables STP so it is important to ONLY use this feature on access ports. It lets a port go straight to the forwarding state instead of going through the listening and learning states.

BPDU Guard can disable ports that are connected to other switches. This can be used to ensure your Portfast interfaces do not accidentally get connected to another switch which could potentially cause a switching loop.

4 years on and this is still one of the best resources out here for CCNA. I just love the chill friendly way you explain s***!

[ardentdfender]

Anyone could make a video, but not everyone can grasp and so well explain a difficult concept in such an easy fashion as you seem to be able to do. Nor can many teach and explain it so simply well with great graphical animation that’s just simple to understand. I hope your making more videos explaining these networking concepts and fundamental protocols.

I've watched so many of your videos to supplement the course I'm taking, and a part of me wishes that I'd started with you guys- I love the structure of your content.

[jajantaramamantaram]

This is so smooth in my brain. No hiccups, everything is explained very well!

[holydarkness]
